Chapter 32:
Meanwhile, on the eighteenth floor in Odessa’s former office, Elias lowered himself slowly into the leather chair, his fingers glided across the polished surface of the large mahogany table, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.“Finally, this is all mine.”At that moment, a soft knock sounded on the door.“Come in.”Assistant Lily stepped inside carrying a stack of documents. “Manager Elias, these are the files requiring your approval this afternoon.”Elias barely looked at the files, his eyes fixed solely on Lily as he licked his lower lip in a provocative gesture.“How come I haven’t noticed how beautiful you look?”Lily looked thrown. Her brows shot up instantly in confusion, thinking she had heard wrong, she said, “Sir?”Elias slowly stood up and walked around the desk towards her. Lily instinctively took half a step backwards.“Why are you so nervous?” Elias said with a small smile. “We have worked in the same company for years.”“I’m not nervous, sir,” Lily responded.“N
Chapter 31:
The conference doors closed softly behind Odessa. The three project folders rested heavily in her arms, their combined weight forcing her to adjust her grip as she walked down the corridor.Employees who had been passing by gradually slowed in their steps as she walked past them.“… isn’t that Ms. Chen?”“I heard Manager Elias called the HR department.”“What for?”“They are transferring her to a lower level.”“I thought she was supposed to become the new manager?”Odessa heard their whispers but didn’t flatter in her steps, her face void of emotions. Sympathetic gazes followed her every step, but no one dared to approach her.Everyone in Chen group already knew what had occurred in the conference room. Power had changed hands and the person sitting at the top of it was now Elias Chen.Odessa kept her expression calm, her chin slightly raised. She refused to wear the look of humiliation they had wanted. The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime. Just as she stepped inside, hurri

For a few seconds after the two were left alone, no one spoke. Elias slowly walked toward the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bustling city below. Slipping his hands into his pocket, he gave a satisfied chuckle. “So this is what it feels like?” Odessa continued arranging the documents in front of her without looking up. “What does?” He turned around with a gleeful expression that held mockery. “Power.” His gaze swept across the conference room as he spoke, the mockery on his face fading into something darker. “I wonder why Grandpa always insisted on grooming you instead of me,” he laughed slightly. “Now I understand.” He walked towards the conference table, stopping directly in front of Odessa. “It isn’t because you are so capable. It’s because he never had the chance to see me take everything from you, always looking down on us all. Well, things are changing now.” Odessa finally looked up, a blank expression on her face as they locked gazes. “If th

Director Han’s expression didn’t falter despite the gravity of Old Lady Chen’s words. “I’m questioning the decision, Chairwoman and not your authority.” Aurelius slammed his palm against the conference table. “Director Han!” He barked. “Mind your words. You have worked under this company for decades, yet you dare oppose the Chairwoman over an outsider?” Director Han raised a brow at Aurelius’s words. “Outsider?” He repeated, his gaze shifted towards Odessa. “Ms. Odessa is the granddaughter personally groomed by the late Chairman. Every major project completed in the last three years bears her signature!” He looked back at Elias with a neutral expression. “On the other hand, Young Master Elias has never independently managed a single project from beginning to completion.” Several departmental heads instinctively lowered their heads. No one dared to agree aloud, but everyone knew Director Han wasn’t lying. Elias’ smile gradually disappeared, his face twisting into a f
Chapter 28:
The events at the Zhao’s banquet had spread across Kairen City like wildfire. The rumors about Riven being the mysterious Wei heir were being speculated. However, Old Lady Chen had ordered every member of the family to be silent about what had happened during the banquet because despite the revelation about Riven being the Wei’s heir, some considered them shameless for trying to hook up their daughters with rich heirs. In a dimly lit study, an elderly man stood in front of the window, staring at the faint city lights with cold, expressionless eyes. He stared at the report in his hand and drank a little from the glass containing scotch in the other. “So… the young master is alive?” A shuffling sound echoed lightly from behind him. “There are rumors that he is. We do not know for such yet,” replied a husky voice. “I see,” the man said with a brief nod. “Investigate into this matter. We can’t have him around much longer.” “Yes master.” The door to the study closed so
Chapter 27:
“Master Wei, please have mercy on us. We were wrong!” The two brothers cried in unison. “Master Wei, do you want us to let them go?” Dai asked with a respectful tone in his voice. Riven went silent for a beat before looking down at the two men kneeling in front of him. “Kyle Yang, you claim to be a martial arts practitioner but you do not follow the rules and laws guiding martial arts. You use your position to control, manipulate and oppress others for that reason, break your fingers.” Kyle’s face went as white as a sheet. His whole body went cold as he slowly looked up at Riven. Riven wasn’t joking at all! “Ma… master Wei..” “What?” Riven asked with a raised brow. “Can’t do it? But you were clamouring for me to break mine. What’s wrong?” Kyle pursed his lips exchanging glances with his brother. His body suddenly felt hot as he stared at his fingers and swallowed hard, cold sweat breaking out on his skin. Dai seem to step forward and Kyle suddenly said. “I will do
